Flat Rock, Michigan--7-26-11:  The field of entries is inching toward 30 cars for the Saturday, July 30 running of the 4^th Annual Moran Chevrolet/Stan Yee Memorial 150 presented by CGS Imaging at Flat Rock Speedway. The event is leg number 3 of the 5 race Allegiant Gold Cup Series between Flat Rock and Toledo Speedways.

As of Tuesday night, a total of 27 cars are on the pre-entry list.  Several more cars are expected after Wednesday night’s practice session at the ¼ mile paved oval, which will run from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.  The pit gate opens at 4.  Defending Gold Cup Series champion and 150 race winner Mike Root, 3-time Flat Rock champion Eric Lee, defending track champ Paul Pelletier and Dennis Strickland, winner of the 100 lap Gold Cup race at Flat Rock in June, lead the parade of entries.

The event will pay $2533 to win and $533 to start, with drivers from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Canada expected.  Several bonus awards, with a requirement to have a paid pre-entry to collect the awards could boost the winning driver’s payday over $3500.  Moran Chevrolet will award a set of four (4) Hoosier Racing Tires to a driver in a random draw that will include race fans, former ARCA official Jack Wyman has posted a total of $500 to be split among the four drivers that travel from the greatest distance to compete in the 150, while Fastime Racing Engines and Parts will award $100 for the fast time. Lap money at $5 per lap will also be up for grabs.
